You mean replacing author-script temporary file with the name of the commit object we are "pick"ing?

That surely sounds like a more direct approach. I wonder why the script didn't do that in the first place (I suspect it was just because it was easier to implement by borrowing the logic to parse authorship information from git-revert-script).
